<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Is there really a slow time around Infopeople training roll outs? Nah! And so far, this August is proving to be busy for those of us creating lots of new content areas and formats for library staff training and development!</p>
<p>Here's an overview of what's happening, and a glimpse ahead, too:</p>
<p>With the Affordable Care Act approaching a new stage, that of health insurance enrollment, libraries and library staff have been called upon to prepare to assist our community members to accessing information and the tools needed to expedite individual and family enrollments. There is a humongous amount of information for us all to recognize and absorb--and we know you are already busy. So, upcoming very soon is Infopeople's online resources page dedicated to leading you and your staff to the most urgent Affordable Care Act news and resources. By "soon," you can think "end of this very week."</p>
<p>Also in the hopper related to the Affordable Care Act is a webinar featuring our excellent Kelli Ham, along with the ever knowledgeable Barbara Bibel, and another panelist from Covered California. The one-hour webinar is scheduled for noon, on Monday, September 9. Kelli, besides being a librarian at UCLA, is Infopeople's link with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Southwest Region. Barbara has been certified by the Medical Library Association and regularly provides training to public library staff around health and wellness materials.</p>
<p>As of Sunday, the independent online learning series Infopeople has hosted for UC Davis, titled Health and Wellness Competencies, has moved to Infopeople's direct aegis. Any generalist who wants to gain a better understanding of how to deliver health and wellness information to his or her library community, making use of best practices, can enroll in this six-module wholly asynchronous series by registering on the Infopeople training site. While this series does not address the Affordable Care Act, we have another series of independent online learning rolling out in September, titled Affordable Care Act @ Your California Library.</p>
<p>And speaking of independent online learning series, what had been called CORE 2: Subject Area Reference is now titled Subject Area Reference. We've returned its layout to that of a single strand with six modules, one evaluation and one certificate of completion.</p>
<p>With two fully developed independent online series already underway and a couple more in development, this is a good time to remind everyone that these series are low cost ($25 for Californian library staff, with free registration for rurals, and $50 for out of state participants). Each series is available for registration any time and each one runs all the time. A participant has two months to work at his or her own rate on any of the modules within the series for which he or she has registered.</p>
